Metropolis Mayor Lex Luthor convinces Superman to marry him since he is an "illegal alien." -- Outside the City Clerk’s office, a long line of lovebirds waited to make their devotion official. Some couples were dressed in jeans, others lounged casually against the wall finishing off their lattes. If not for the occasional poofy white dress, Clark could just as easily have been in line to renew his driver’s license.

As a reporter, you would think Clark would pay more attention to what he says around them. But you would be wrong. -- "Clark, is there something you'd like to tell me?" "Good morning?" "Not quite what I'm looking for." "I'm an alien? You hit me with your car? Am I getting warmer?" "Stop making jokes. My phone has been ringing off the hook all morning. There is a picture of you and me on the front page of the Daily Planet." "That's great, Lex. I didn't think the benefit would be front page news, but that's wonderful." "The story is not about the benefit last night." "What do you mean?" "Since when have we been lovers eagerly awaiting the chance to legally wed in the state of Kansas?"

Rodney McKay is stationed at a mostly safe and, apparently, not too classified Atlantis and is in desperate need of a maid. Unfortunately, any and all support personnel are immediately sucked up by the severely understaffed labs, so Rodney goes for the obvious second choice: mail-order bride, but fails to specify much more than tall and high IQ. He's surprised by John, who was willing to do just about anything to get to Atlantis after a dishonorable discharge from the Air Force.
The 'Oh' Thing by Chelle (PG)

Living together changes everything. - After Rodney and Keller break up, Rodney suggests he and John marry because the regs have changed and he wants someone to come home to. When John points out they aren't sleeping together, Rodney observes that apparently married people don't have much sex either, so they move into a suite. John then slowly begins to find himself growing more and more physically comfortable with Rodney. The guys are both kinda dense.

By the eighth time John Sheppard married Rodney McKay, they were old pros at the wedding thing, having weathered not only an Ouishan blood wedding, but also a twelve-hour Avalonian handfasting, a Malanese necklace exchange, and a Thurtu joining ceremony that invoked a fire god and featured seven kinds of cake.
